Fariña Meets With Charter School Leaders

New York City Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña, meeting Saturday morning for the first time since she took office with charter school leaders, said the discussion was positive and engendered good will.

“This was an open dialogue to hear what they have on their mind, for them to know who I am, a lot of friends in the room,” Ms. Fariña said following the meeting during a brief chat with reporters on a Lower Manhattan sidewalk. “It was a very productive meeting. We shared a lot of ideas and we’re going to continue to dialogue.”

Ms. Fariña — and some of the charter officials who attended the meeting — said there was no policy discussed.
